Ladies of Midnight Blue are an Afro-Latin percussion and brass duet. They create a powerful and upbeat fusion of rhythms, weaving combinations of melodic percussion, brass, vocal chants, and mbira. They have performed all over the world and, in the last 12 years, they have been workshop facilitators and guest artists for various projects and residencies, including Opera North’s Resonance Residency.
